Conclusions
We have synthesized the SPION coated with CMC and investigated the stability in water,T 2 relaxation rate and cytotoxicity. The coating with CMC improved the stability in water and reduced the cytotoxicity to cell viability. Furthermore, the CMC-coated SPION showed superparamagnetic behaviors. The CMC-coated SPION may be used for cellular andin vivo imaging. When CMC are chemically modified for conjugation of specific ligand, the CMCcoated SPION may have a great potential for biomedical applications.
